SAP Netweaver PI 7.0 includes a wealthy set of development utilities that together with the runtime stability and performance make this SAP Netweaver component the natural choice for our process integration scenarios PI 7.1 help to increase productivity or administration capabilities to support large development teams.

In PI 7.0 and XI 3.0, one of the most often requested features (or complaints) is the capability (or lack of) to share user-defined functions (UDFs) across multiple message mappings. As a result, we often had to duplicate the code of frequently used UDFs to multiple message mappings. This feature is now available with PI 7.1. The only restriction is that the library containing the UDFs has to be in the same Software Component Version (SWCV) as the message mapping. Therefore, if we wish to share the library in more than 1 SWCV, then we will need to create dependencies in the System Landscape Directory (SLD).

In PI 7.0 and XI 3.0, we have been able to import the metadata from RFCs and IDOCs from SAP. Many times, we wish we can also import metadata from SQL tables we wish to access also. This will eliminate a lot of typing and typo-mistakes.

This feature is now available with PI 7.1. The only requirement is that we have to have a JDBC receiver communication channel.

Some advantages of PI 7.1 are as follows :

- Objects tree filtering and positioning : This allows us to select just the set of Software component and SWCV which we are interested in a particular moment.

- Folders in the Enterprise services repository and Integration directory, by creating the folders it is easy for us to identify the SWCV.

- We can maintain the Software component version relationships at the SLD levels.
